good Internet connection since the clocks WILL NOT stop in case of disconnection or offline. In the unlikely event of internal technical
problems of the server, MahjongTime reserves the right to restart the game at the
specific position before such an incident might occur or ask the players to replay
the unfinished hand.

The player with the highest score wins the tournament.

Registration & Check-in:

The registration closes 24 hours before the starting time. The registered players
are required to check-in(login to the game) 15 minutes before the tournament starts.

Scoring:

At the end of each round, each player will receive a “table point” according to
the score. The table point assignment is as follows:

If two (or more) players tie for a position, they share equally the added points.
For example: 0.5 points each (half of 1 + 0) for two players sharing the last position.

Tournament rankings are determined through table points. Players with more table points in a game earn higher placement in the tournament. If a tie in table points occurs between players, the player with the highest overall score will be ranked higher. In the unlikely event that two players are tied in both table points AND overall score, the player that won more hands in the game will be ranked higher.
